Gene,

1)Yes, there is an agency in Tokyo who will help you set up an office in
Japan.  This agency will provide you office space as well as bilingual
receptionist etc.  I have the phone number in my office.  I will get
it and give it to you on Monday if not earlier.

2)"ASAHI LAW OFFICES" in Tokyo.  Call Mr. Iimura at (03)3505-1333.  I
would appreciate it if you mention my name to him.

3)Again, Mr. Iimura should be able to help you on this.

There is a book called "Setting up an office in Japan."  This book is
about $50.00(including shipping and handling).  I will let you know
where you can get this book as soon as I got it from my office.

Good luck!
